Children’s developmental abnormalities refer to the fact that children’s behavioral responses at a certain age do not appear or lag behind their normal growth and development indicators. Generally speaking, developmental abnormalities in children include the following aspects:
1. Visual dysplasia:
(1) Children’s eyeballs often stare rigidly and cannot rotate with the movement of people or toys.
(2) Children can sometimes follow large objects with bright colors nearby them, but they do not respond to distant or colorless targets.
(3) Children seldom use their hands to grab toys that cannot make sound hanging from cradles;
(4) Children’s eyes showed obvious abnormalities, such as strabismus, opacity and nystagmus.
(5) Children often wrestle because they can’t get around obvious obstacles.
2. Auditory dysplasia:
(1) Children rarely respond to sudden sounds of surprise, such as crying, startling, or stopping the action in progress;
(2) Children can understand some of their words only when they watch others speak, or others repeat many times;
(3) When the child is 1 year old, the child has no or slow response to the sound of the TV, the doorbell, or the voice of others.
(4) By the time of the speaking period (12 to 18 months), the children still did not have the behavior of imitating speaking. After the normal beginning of the speaking period, he still can’t speak.
(5) Children often vomit or complain of earache or head buzzing.
3. Intellectual dysplasia:
(1) The child’s appearance is special; the head shape is obviously larger (or smaller); the face has abnormal features such as wide nose bridge, wide eye spacing and tongue extension; the skin color is abnormal (lips, hands and feet are purple);
(2) The development speed of children, such as laughing, raising the head, sitting, standing and walking, lags behind their peers by more than 4 to 5 months.
(3) Children’s performance is too “quiet”, such as excessive sleep, inactivity, few speaking and crying, no response to parents’ teasing;
(4) The child’s behavior and mood are somewhat special, such as difficulty in swallowing or chewing, gaze or nystagmus and often feeling restless and screaming.
Once the abnormal development of children is found, medical experts and specialists in special education should be promptly sought for further diagnosis. Don’t be embarrassed, otherwise, children’s condition will be delayed.
